Leftover Saudi munitions kill civilian, wound two in Hodeidah

At least one civilian was killed and two injured on Friday when a shell that was left behind by the Saudi-led aggression coalition forces went off in Hodeidah province, western Yemen.

According to local sources, a man was killed and his son and daughter were injured in an explosion of an explosive piece of ammunition in the village of Al-Mahal, north of Al-Durayhimi district.

Recently, the Executive Center for Mine Action announced the death and injury of 16 civilians in various governorates by explosive remnants of the coalition during the first ten days of this August.

The Saudi-led invading coalition has used cluster bombs, mines and other internationally banned weapons in the course of its war on Yemen since 2015, which have negatively affected the lives of residents in local communities.

Many areas in Yemen’s governorates have been bombarded by the aggression coalition with cluster bombs, while many of those internationally prohibited bombs are still scattered among farms and roads.
